From The Gospel of Matthew by Curtis Mitch and Edward Sri, commenting on Matthew 6:24-34:

The word worry is used five times in this short section. Worry denotes excessive concern and anxiety that monopolizes the heart’s attention. Jesus says do not worry about your life or about your body and then lists three specific areas of concern that represent the necessities of life: eating, drinking, and clothing. While these are important, they are not the ultimate goal of life: Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? We should look after these basic needs, but focus on what is more important.

Welcome to the new blog from the editors of the Catholic Commentary on Sacred Scripture.

This blog will feature regular weekly reflections on the upcoming Sunday Lectionary reading from the commentaries and commentators of the series. Additionally, expect to find conversation about the Bible, its interpretation, and how the Word of God can be effectively used in theology, prayer, liturgy, evangelization, and pastoral ministry.

We invite you to add this blog to your blog reader or RSS feed and join the conversation!
